Makgoka High School Contact Details

Makgoka is a public secondary school outside Mankweng, north east of Polokwane. Its formal name on the provincial records is Makgoka Secondary School, and unusually for a South African school it has a telephone number published by the education department itself rather than only through directories.

Official contact channels

• Telephone: 015 266 0022
• Address: R71, Maclean Farm, Mountain View, 0727. The school sits on the R71 between Polokwane and Mankweng
• Office hours: Monday to Friday 07:30 to 16:00
• The school does not run its own website. The department lists edu.limpopo.gov.za against it

Where the school sits administratively

• National EMIS number: 923240457. Quote it in any correspondence with the department, it identifies the school unambiguously
• Municipality: Polokwane. Education district: Capricorn South. Circuit: Mankweng
• Type: ordinary public secondary school
• The circuit is the layer above the school and the first place to take a matter the school office has not resolved

Admissions and fees

• Apply in the year before the learner starts. Late application, not a shortage of places, is the most common reason a learner is left unplaced
• An unplaced learner is the responsibility of the district office, not the school that turned the application down. Escalate rather than going school to school
• A learner may not be refused admission, sent home, or have a report withheld because fees are unpaid. If the school is fee-charging, ask for the fee exemption application form, which is a legal right
• Take a certified birth certificate, immunisation record, transfer card and proof of address to any admission meeting

Escalation

• School office, then the school governing body, then the Mankweng circuit office, then the Capricorn South district office
• Limpopo Department of Education: 015 290 7600, 113 Biccard Street, Polokwane, 0699, open Monday to Friday 07:30 to 16:30. Toll free 0800 265 266
• National Department of Basic Education: 012 357 3000, or the toll-free line 0800 202 933
• Corporal punishment or assault is a criminal matter. Report it to the police as well as to the district, not to the school alone
